Inner peace barometer 1/21/2022

I woke up earlier than usual and prepared for my eye exam appointment. I wanted to have a better eye vision, so I didn’t wear my eye glasses at all this morning. My husband gave me a ride to the eye doctor’s office. After he dropped me off at the office, he went back home. After I saw my husband off, I walked to the office entrance and found out it was still closed. The notice says the office hour is 9 am to 5 pm. It was still 8:40 a.m. I needed to wait in front of the door for 20 minutes. It was cold outside.

At nine the office worker came and opened the entrance door. By then, there were 5 more patients waiting at the door. Everybody was obviously irritated for having waited for a while outside. The last person who arrived at the office stepped in at the receptionist counter. The other people knew I was the first person arrived, so they offered me to go next.

When I mentioned my name, the receptionist gave me a shocking news. She said their office is out-of-network from my insurance company. She apologized me on behalf of her coworker that they were supposed to inform the fact when somebody makes an appointment. I was shocked but for some reasons, I didn’t get irritated. I told the receptionist that it was not her fault. I canceled the appointment.

When I came back home, I noticed the condition of my inner peace. I was happy to know that I could stay being calm. I used to have a short temper and I would have gotten irritated and mad at them. I think it was due to my health condition. When my physical health was not good, I was easy to lose temper. Now I was okay, and that means I am doing fine in my physical health.
